The NBA will allow players to wear sneakers of any color at any point during the upcoming season.

As part of Nike's eight-year, $1 billion deal to outfit the NBA, Nike has been aggressive in amplifying the look of teams and players across the league. Nearly 67 percent of players wore footwear of Nike or its subsidiary Jordan Brand last season.

During most of NBA history, all sneakers on a team were restricted to being either 51 percent white or black, plus a minimal team color accent, depending on which team was hosting or visiting.

By the late 2000s, shoes in full team colors were soon allowed leaguewide, meaning Bulls players could wear all red shoes or the Boston Celtics could wear all green, in addition to white or black.
